Many of you will have seen the group buy for the book i am putting together. Over 40 requests for it so far.

So i now need your photos to put into the book! The main focus will be on owners cars. I've had a few fantastic photos so far so thanks to those people.

Please ensure they are good quality photos:

Exterior Shots
Interior Shots
Engine bay
Modifications
On track
Driving (?)

Basically anything thats going to look good in this Unique book. I'll also be using photos from other sources where applicable.

Also, if you feel creative and want to write anything about your coupe or the coupe in general, then go for it!

Please email photos to: mark@thekitchendesigner.com

Baz

Hi Mark,
My Coupe is a normal one but I have the old original '93 Autocar mag with the photos of about 10 different prototoypes. Perhaps you could use them in you book? I can probably scan them properly if you need them although I guess you'd need permission?

All recieved Baz - great pics! Was the car having a pee in one of the pics??

Skinflint - sounds good! can you email me what you have with any photos of your own?

Cheers

Will take some pics once I've given the car a decent clean do you have a time limit for getting the pics to you?

Asap really, will probably leave open for another 1 or 2 weeks, but would like to get started asap.

some sent

also name added to group buy!

Lol . I take it you mean this pic,she`s house trained now .

Baz

Mr Licky and myself will be taking my coop for a bit of a photoshoot tomorrow around Derbyshire - if we get any decent shots I'll forward them on -watch it p**s it down now

LOL Baz - bad coop!!

Sounds good! Look forward to seeing the results.

I've send you some of mine.
Hope you can use one of them.

Anyone know of any pics, or have any pics, of Chrono grey & pearly white???

Che has a Chrono Grey, he had it up for sale recently!

check your e-mail mark - i have a pretty big collection of piccys...

Here's a Pearly White

Oh hang on, wrong car

What colour

are

these

Cheers cjh.

Chrono grey is the one that looks like primer?? Or am i wrong??

Any chance of a newbie being included in the book? i have plenty of high res pics of my Coupe to send you

Of course!! Send em on over to me

Still looking for crono grey pics (the colour that looks like its primer!)

I think i`ve got some,you could try PM`ing Che i`m sure his is a Chrono .

Baz

Sent a few pictures tonight.

Are there any particular kind of photos your looking for now?

Last call for photos to go in the book. The deadline for anyone yet to send or still wanting to send photos is this Sunday, 24th Feb.

I need to begin putting things together after this.

Thanks, Mark

Are there any on THIS Page you would like?

Bob

Think i've seen that before somewhere. Will have a butchers and pick a few.

Thanks Bob

I shrink them for the web so if you do want any let me know and I'll send a full size version.

Bob

If you PM evo_number_one he has just bought a chrono grey and posted a couple of pictures of his car in the topic "what colour is this??".

Looks absolutely stunning

I bet 3/4 of the pictures you get are shot from standing up height. Am I right?

He beat me to it and PM'd me! Should have some by the weekend. Will check out his post.



You'd be right there! I do have some nice arty/jaunty angled ones, but majority as you say.

It's funny thing but we all do it. Some how we see the picture in our head, so we don't bother to capture it on camera, or we hope the camera will somehow realise the brilliant shot in our minds all on its own.

Look in any car pic book and the vast majority of professional shots are shot from no higher than the headlight, some even lower, and that's the only way you can show the car's best points.

Yet if you look in the coops for sale section or on pistonheads, well over 75% are snapshots from standing position that show bugger all except how nice the bonnet and roof are.

I love that array of bloo coops. Pity you couldn't get the non-bloo peeps to move their cars!

Maybe you can find some nice photos on my site?
http://alex.e4.org

I'll email a few to you as well, maybe easier for you...
Cheers!

Did you get those Chrono LE pics (including the one with red slashes ) I sent you over yousendit.com a week or so ago Mark?

Baz

http://www.torque-steer.co.uk/diddy/coupe

Lots of pics of my 16vt in here! Hope some of these get into the book

Oh and I can re-supply any of them at 300dpi if you choose

Mark, have you thought how you're going to manage the 16v/16v Turbo/20v/20v Turbo/LE/Plus/ink black/moon grey/sprint bloo/broom yellow/etc/etc ratio? and still get all the pics looking good.

Don't envy you one bit

Hi Baz - i think one of my filters ate that email and churned it out a few days ago, but the link expired. Could you re-send them via yousendit (gave my filters a stern talking to!). Sorry to be a pain!

Didcoop, dave, darmtb, barnacle - many thanks.

Freak - considering options for this, but may well break it down into each colour, then special eds, then seperatley detail engine variations. Tho thats just one option!

I think i have well over 500 photos now, should be fun!

If you want any more sprintys you can use this. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh246/Duffman20vt/carz011.jpg

p.s I wont be offended if you dont use it or think its pants im no photographer.

By 'Dave' do you mean me?

I do indeed mean you dave! couldnt be arsed to right fishy before it

LOL, ok, cheers.

@ Mark0904: Have you received the pics I've taken at the Turin event in 2004?
(famous 10th anniversary)

Mark

Crono piccies will be with you this weekend.

Are these nice enough?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/welformed/04-11-06_1205.jpg

Outside Lincoln Cathedral, but only camphone pics. Maybe good to stuff in a corner or as part of a collage?

Oh and a chromey console: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/welformed/Picture_0083.jpg

Random:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/welformed/DSCN2669.jpg

Sadly I've not had the time to take some decent quality pics.

Alesi - all recieved, many thanks.

evo - good news, will look forward to seeing pictures...........of my ideal coupe.......that i dont have.......

Welformed - camphone pics will be a bit small to use in the main book i'm afraid, but i may well be able to use them in the montage/collage i'm doing for the last few pages.

Did you get the ones I sent a couple of weeks ago Mark?

I did indeed, many thanks

I'm very much looking forward to the final result, how we will go about getting one of these?

put your name down in the GB

Just done it...my bad lol!

Mark, I've just realised what you're doing here. In one fell swoop you've invented a perfect excuse for yourself to spend as much time as you can looking at pictures of coupes. When the rest of us do this it's called skiving off from work.

Very, very clever

(Looking forward to the end result)

Mark I tried emailing you some photos a few days ago but just realised the pics were uber-high quality and the files were massive so it was rejected at your end... I'll re-size them and send them over to you this weekend. Cheers.

Boosted - Could try using yousendit.com for mahoosive files?!?

Pilgrim - shhhhhh, dont give the game away! I'm also my own boss so dont have anyone to justify skiving to!

Mark - Ive got a few 'arty'ish ones from last year, ill send them over to you this evening - alas yet more sprinty blue though.....!

Why dont you set up one of them ftp thingies to allow folks to upload high-res pictures to?

I've given Mark my pics through FTP, think it's easier for him if you've got the space there guys!

Bump. Cut off today

Mark, have you grabbed mine? I need the web space and can't get extra for a couple of days...

Mark - let me know if any of the following are any good - most are about 5MB each, so I'd have to email them one at a time

sprinties at Santa Pod

blue car, blue sky

slightly arty

nice scenery

Matt Neal in my first Coupe

a dozen Coupes, plus their big brother

Sprint Blue droplets

Barnacle - all saved, many thanks

Nigel - nice pics!! Could you send all across except the first one, and the one with Matt Neal.

Cheers, Mark

Mark, I've just emailed you my photos - if you want super high-res versions of any, just let me know

Mark, I have emailed some photos to you

Mark - all sent as requested, apart from the one in Cheddar Gorge - I've mislaid the orginal

All change. We want a book with women in it - and the occasional coupe. Or we're going to join the Italian coop club.

Mark,

20 crono photos emailed to you (in batches!)

@ veggy. Perhaps this should be club member's activity weekend?

Great, 20 photos of my ideal coupe staring at me.....

All recieved, many thanks Bob!

probably way way way too late, but, for me, a photo which shouts volumes about coupe ownership is:

life in the fast lane

photo has gone!

Ha Ha Coop Irony at it's best

Mark any chance I can squeeze one of my latest pics of my car lowered in last minute? PM me to let me know, thanks!

Mark see this thread here Clarkson buys a 20vt
